So, a Trump supporter told me that, “nobody gives a sh*t” about Indigenous Peoples Day. Please, tell me, do you care about Indigenous Peoples Day?

Trump’s sons have recently invested in dozens of defense companies. Those companies have now raked in a staggering $6 BILLION in current or future government contracts. Corruption? Or coincidence? You be the judge.

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed. Do not forget this.

Meta is facing allegations that it knowingly designed Instagram and Facebook to keep children and teenagers hooked, even as it learned about the potential harm to their mental health. https://to.pbs.org/4hIRlRd

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

Apple: ~$2.2 billion Nike: $986 million FedEx: ~$800 million Amazon: $640 million General Motors: $500 million Giant corporations are raking in millions in tariff refunds and getting even richer. But remember: corporations passed tariff costs on to you. Where's YOUR refund?

Today’s Civics Lesson Dr. Fauci honoring a congressional subpoena and then taking the Fifth Amendment: an example of someone respecting both Congress and the Constitution. Jim Jordan ignoring a congressional subpoena: an example of someone showing contempt for Congress. Lesson over.

There are two kinds of people at this point: Ones who want the Epstein files released. And ones who are in them.

The call is coming from inside the house…

Republicans are trying to sneak new voter suppression measures onto a bill to ban congressional stock trading. They've also riddled the bill with loopholes that would allow members to keep holding and selling stocks — and their families to buy them on their behalf. Priorities.

Under Trump: -Household electricity costs are up 18% -Ground beef prices are up 22% -Gas prices are up 40% -ACA out-of-pocket premiums are up 58% -Inflation is at a three-year high "New Golden Age" for who?

"Before he can vote for himself in the primary, Mike Lindell needs to register to vote in the state he wants to lead as gov The Secretary of State’s office said Lindell, Trump’s preferred candidate, 'does not have an active record' A review shows Lindell has an active voter registration in TX"

Three congressional Democrats say that as much as $21.5 million paid by ABC, Meta, Paramount and X to settle lawsuits brought by Trump is now missing or has been spent without explanation and requested a full accounting from the foundation building his presidential library.

Ever the relentless liars….

ICE agents weren't wearing body cameras when they killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. The three men who were with him are reportedly being detained separately and getting pressured to self-deport — while refuting ICE’s story. What is ICE trying to cover up?

He stood by his oath, despite the consequences! A true patriot!

Listen, if you don’t know the difference between Democratic socialism and communism, I’m not engaging with you. Crack a book.

It seems the USA's 'manifest destiny' is to elect the very worst people among them and destroy the democracy they swore to defend.

Our independent federal regulatory agencies were created to protect the public from corporate harms. The only reason to end these protections is to give corporate America even higher profits by shifting the risks of harms to individual people. The shame of the John Roberts court.

Donald Trump is eager to seize the Smithsonian, @clintsmithiii.bsky.social writes. He profiles the institution’s leader, Lonnie Bunch, and explores how he’s managed to survive the chaos—for now. theatln.tc/Dwy0M7VF 🎨: Paul Spella / The Atlantic. Sources: Graeme Sloan / Sipa / Reuters; Getty.

Trump’s White House seriously debated suspending habeas corpus, a crucial constitutional right, for undocumented immigrants last year. We must never become numb to this authoritarianism. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway claimed, "the upsurge in home-setting chemical abortions has serious implications for the Safe Drinking Water Act." Environmental experts say there is no such evidence. (@missouriindependent.com)

Yesterday night Donald Trump announced an Iran ceasefire deal had been reached. But let’s be clear that the ceasefire will not curtail, let alone end, Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

Trump rails against fraud. He spreads conspiracy theories. He unleashes his police state on immigrants. He weaponizes the government against his political enemies. Meanwhile, he keeps pardoning actual convicted fraudsters and white-collar criminals. Hello?

Men are too emotional to be president.

Scott Pelley deserves this week’s Joseph Welch Award for truth-telling in the face of tyranny Watch this important speech he gave just a year ago.

Okay, now, since putting his own name on things illegally isn't an official duty of the President, make him pay for it all.

American workers just took home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 — even as corporate profits soar. Why? This chart has the answer.

What an absolute mess and a complete disgrace!

Donald Trump is now responsible for 28% of the US national debt. That's $11 trillion. In 250 years of American history, no president has added more. That's not an opinion. It's math.

Keep telling the truth. Thank you to Stephen Colbert and everyone at The Late Show.

This is exactly the kind of cult member that should never be anywhere near government...
